Zeitoun: Third 68 pages

These third 68 pages of Zeitoun focus mainly on Kathy's mental struggle when she cannot get in contact with her husband. During this time Kathy is playing out all worst case scenarios while getting desperate calls from Zeitoun's family in Syria. Personally I cannot even fathom what Kathy is going through, to deal with the emotional stress of not knowing the well-being of ones spouse must be extremely stressful. It is actually so stressful on Kathy that she starts developing mass amounts of gray hairs. She also has to stay strong not only for herself, but for the sake of her children. I cannot stress enough how much I cannot even imagine going through this kind of emotional suffering. We later find out that Zeitoun has been in fact arrested. This gives Kathy some peace at mind knowing that he is indeed alive, but now she has to worry about her husband being imprisoned. This is another emotional roller-coaster that I cannot fathom riding. I am very impressed with Kathy's will power and ability to stay sane during those trying two weeks of not knowing. I am very excited to continue on reading the novel.
